MSR WhisperLite International Multi-Fuel Stove
Good stove

I've had this stove for several years now and have been very pleased with it. It is very light and packs up small in the included sack. The MSR fuel bottles are bomb proof and come in a large variety of sizes. I don't feel comfortable, however, giving it 5 stars for a few reasons. The first is the fact that it takes a considerable amount of time to prime the stove, and after a long hike in the dark it can be frustrating. The other reason is that in my experience it needs to stay very clean to function properly, and I've had to replace several parts for this reason. Like I said this is a good stove, but not a great one. If you are in the market for a new stove, go with the best and buy the Jetboil PCS for only $10 more,
